At the same time as BYOD usage in the workplace continues to rise, apps continue to gain traction in popularity. This reality poses a danger in that sensitive work files accessed from employees’ phones can be exposed to malware and other security risks from the apps. Because of this, many companies have begun to introduce “Enterprise App Stores” – an organization-wide marketplace with IT-approved apps, both personal and corporate. For example, your enterprise app store might offer an approved file-sharing app – iCloud might have some security issues that Dropbox does not, so only the latter will be available. All of the OK’d apps are in one place, and provide employees who have chosen the BYOD route with the specific apps that they can use. Read more »

So you are taking your employee referral program to the next step – mobile. Excellent decision. This is because you understand that referrals are made via social exchanges – while they are managed in the workplace, they are created through the interactions that employees have with their friends during their free time. Whether it’s allowing employees to send you referrals directly from the gym or restaurant where they meet up with potential candidates, or providing them with a quick job link to beam to their social media and e-mail networks, harnessing the power of their mobile connectivity will naturally lead to more referrals coming your way. Plus, with the number of mobile devices rapidly expanding worldwide – including among your employees – it’s a no-brainer that you’d want to provide them with the tools to make referrals on-the-go.
In short, there’s never been a better time to optimize your referral program for personal devices. But before you get started, check out our guest post on TalentMinded to review which features to avoid!

However, while a cash bonus may require less time to organize, prizes are ultimately the better motivator. Here’s why: Read more »
